My husband and I, from different parts of India, got married in 2010. After our wedding, we moved to Bangalore where our child was born in 2012. Sadly, things haven’t been easy. My husband’s behaviour has been very hurtful, and I’ve been living with my parents in Raipur for the past few years. Despite the challenges, he continues to provide financial support for our child and me. However, the emotional abuse and violence have become unbearable. Last November, he came to Raipur and physically hurt me. Since then, we haven’t spoken. I am worried about my 4-year-old son’s future. I was working before marriage but had to leave my job after our son’s birth. If we were to separate, what would happen to my son? He is my world, and I can’t imagine losing him. Please guide me on what my options are in this situation.

Based on your situation, you can file for divorce in India, citing cruelty and domestic violence. You can also seek custody of your son, considering his age and your ability to provide for him. The court will consider factors like your son’s welfare, his bond with each parent, and your financial capabilities while deciding on custody arrangements.

My daughter and I are living together after our mutual consent divorce. Though the legal custody is with her father, she doesn’t want to go there due to their mistreatment. I want to seek legal custody of her. What are my options?

A woman in India, following a separation, had to give permanent custody of her 7-year-old daughter to her ex-husband. This was after he took the child away for a week, refusing to disclose her location. When the court ordered the child’s return, she seemed completely different, refusing to be with her mother in front of a counselor, despite living with her mother for almost a year prior. Now, six years later, can this mother, who is now remarried, seek access to her daughter and even fight for custody?

My daughter is 3 years old, and I’ve been solely responsible for her upbringing and education. Her father doesn’t contribute financially. If my daughter wants to live with me, can I get custody?

We’ve been lovingly raising a little one since he was just a fortnight old. Now, after two and a half years, his father has taken him back. We’re deeply worried because the father is alone, without a wife, and has no stable income. The child is also technically illegitimate, as his parents are unaware of his existence. We fear the baby is struggling to connect with his father, feeling like he’s with a stranger. We believe it’s crucial for his well-being that he remains in a safe, nurturing environment until he’s old enough to understand the situation. The child’s welfare is our top priority.

My parents want to adopt my child after my divorce and then arrange a second marriage for me. I’m open to remarrying, but I don’t want them to adopt my child. How can I respectfully say no to their plan?

Previous Article I was driving my car carefully on a road with no divider. Suddenly, a biker speeding from the opposite direction swerved into my lane and crashed head-on into my vehicle. I stopped immediately, but he was going so fast that he and his bike ended up on top of my car before falling off far behind. I’m still shaken by the incident. Now, he’s filed a claim for INR 45 Lacs, accusing me of negligence. It feels unfair, as I was driving within my lane and at a safe speed. While I sympathize with his injuries, I’m hesitant to file a counter-complaint.
